It is not common for companies in Sweden to pay cash wages.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can have a bank card connected to your account that you can use to make withdrawals, pay in shops and so on. Cash is not used as much in Sweden as in other countries. We have chosen to pay by card instead.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen do you get paid your salary/wages?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually, employees are paid at the end of the month. If you are a monthly employee, you receive your pay in the same month that you worked. If you are an hourly employee, you usually receive your pay the following month.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe employer who pays your salary/wages deducts your income tax first. Your earnings before taxes are deducted are called gross pay. Your earnings after the taxes are deducted are called net pay. You can read more about taxes on Skatteverket\u0027s (the Swedish Tax Agency\u0027s) website. See the link below.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you know what you earn?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour pay must be specified in your employment contract. As we said on the page about collective bargaining agreements, the pay you will earn for normal working hours must be clearly stated in your employment contract or your collective bargaining agreement.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also get additional pay on top of that if your employer approves this. You can have the right to additional pay if you work outside regular hours, for example evenings and weekends. This is sometimes called \"inconvenient hours\" (obekväm arbetstid).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you know how much you should earn?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour pay is determined by several different things, for example:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat kind of work it is\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat kind of education and training you have\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow much experience you have\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow skilled you are\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrade unions and other organisations regularly publish lists of how much money a person should be paid for working in different professions. You can compare this with what you earn yourself.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou sometimes see articles about this in newspapers. Of course you can always also search the Internet for such information.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you can ask friends and other people you know what they think is reasonable pay. But remember that not everyone likes to talk about how much they earn.\u003c/p\u003e","imageLinks":{"href":"https://cdn-lerniase-images-prod.azureedge.net/3d6cd5c51bb9493b9d2b452e527c1ba8/2074a4f88de645fa9acc8e2bff9b66bd.jpg?auto=format,compress\u0026s=75b854d3a0fdc564ea9a4006162fc6a7","title":"akassa.jpg"},"videoLinks":[{"href":"https://youtu.be/FbOf34Hq8t8","title":"How much do you get in your salary"}],"siteLinks":[{"href":"https://www.lernia.se/jobb/Fragor-och-Svar/#Vadbetalarniilön","title":"Lernia.se - Questions and Answers, \"What do you pay in salary?\""},{"href":"https://youtu.be/kNZbhezy0uM","title":"Jalla prata svenska - tax in Sweden"}],"children":null,"wordExplanations":null}
